Ha, so now we know why you're selling.
I understand completely. My basement walls leak water when it rains a lot. It sucks.

“The shingles on the roof blister, buckle, curl, and the rain comes through and collects on top of the ceiling plaster and drips down through the light fixtures. When it’s raining, we have to pull the fuses. You don’ dare turn on the lights. The house that Tyler rents, it has three stories and a basement. We carry around candles. It has pantries and screened sleeping porches and stained-glass windows on the stairway landing. There are bay windows with window seats in the parlor. The baseboard moldings are carved and varnished and eighteen inches high. The rain trickles down through the house, and everything wooden swells and shrinks, and the nails in everything wooden, the floors and baseboards and window casings, the nails inch out and rust.”

was up until 4 a.m. bailing water out of my basement
started even leaking through the seams in the basement foundation ![]() have double sump pumps and they could barely keep up. Backup battery went dead ... if power had gone out for even an hour the basement would of been a swimming pool. As it was i had about an inch of water with me bailing like i was in a row boat during a monsoon. ![]() i'm tired and bitchy

Grandpa was smart enough to make the basement floor concave so that everythings runs to a big drain.

Why didn't you just dig the trench with your plow, Mr. Plow?

I pulled 6 gallons of water out of our carpet this morning. I'm hoping fans and a dehumidifier can take care of the rest. I'll tell our landlord, but there probably isn't much he can do.
Thankfully we don't live in Oklahoma City. |

Water still sucks.
2 inches of water in the basement of our soon to be new house. Luckily, unfinished basement. Of course I have all the drywall purchased through the contractor sitting down there....oh well....his problem, not mine. He should of gotten the house all sealed up 3 weeks ago. 3 offices at work with water in them. Been extracting water all morning and I'm already tired. Well played water.....well played. |

I fixed all the drainage problems on my yard ( 1 acre) by going out side during the rain storm and tracking the flow of ground water. Diverting the water is the best way to fix the problem but there are times where this can't be done.
You do know that you can dig your sump pump hole deeper and add another pump if you want. |
